Comedian Kim Ki-su has drawn attention after sharing photos on personal social media showing a dramatically transformed appearance that many say makes him look like a woman.

On Tuesday, Kim posted on his personal social media account alongside the photos: "Before weighing the pros and cons, focus on the story in your heart. That's the answer — or so someone told me. Is it really the answer?"

In the photos, Kim sports a short-cut hairstyle and gazes into the camera with flawless, blemish-free skin. Particularly striking are his neatly arched eyebrows, subtle makeup and a slender jawline that together give him an appearance easily mistaken for a woman's.

Kim made his debut as a comedian in 2001 through KBS's 16th open recruitment class before later transitioning into beauty content creation. In 2024, he completed a hair designer course at a hagwon and obtained a cosmetology license. He currently runs a one-person hair salon in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
